Josh Rosen is crying fake news over reports that suggested he did not want to be drafted by the Cleveland Browns.

The former UCLA quarterback said in December he’d rather be “a lower pick with the right team than a higher at the wrong team,” which many interpreted to be a shot at the Browns.

Those comments were soon followed by an ESPN report which said he preferred to play for the Giants over the Browns and would be hesitant to declare for the draft if he believed the Browns would take him with the first overall pick.

NFL Network’s Michael Silver reported on Tuesday -- the first day of the NFL Scouting Combine -- that Rosen told him any report that he does not want to go to the Browns is not true.

“I never said anything about not wanting to play in Cleveland,” Rosen said. “I don’t know where that came from. There’s absolutely no foundation in reality in that.”

Reports have also suggested Browns GM John Dorsey would prefer to avoid Rosen in the draft, though he dismissed that notion in January.

The Browns have the first and fourth overall picks of the draft and are in need of a quarterback, and Rosen is considered to be one of the best in the 2018 class.

Many questions surround Rosen, 21, as he enters the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis on Tuesday. There is a perception Rosen has a bad attitude and in a Feb. 21 mock draft by ESPN’s Mel Kiper, Rosen fell from going second overall to the Giants all the way down to 11th to the Dolphins, raising some eyebrows.

Rosen will get the chance to work out, throw, and interview with coaches, GMs and scouts during the week-long combine as he prepares for the NFL draft in April.
